Governor Evers signs an executive order #35 declaring a state of emergency due to extreme severe weather.
This follows the severe storms, and tornadoes that have impacted Wisconsin recently.

“I know many people, especially in northern and central Wisconsin have been impacted by the strong storms and power outages,” said Gov. Evers. “The first responders and utilities have been doing a great job, working non-stop since the storms hit. I want to make sure all state resources are available to help get the power back on and debris removed.”

The governor's declaration directs all agencies to assist to activate National Guard as needed.
